Looks like they need to buy one of these, and take a daily tour around the joint.

Although he didn't dig underground, or directly to freedom, he did dig through about 20 feet of wall (at least according to the moevie).

The analogy struck me as weird, as you were rooting for the escapee in Shawshank.

The Media can't possibly be rooting for the "insurgents", can they?

The good guys (our troops) win again. Thank God and God bless our troops. MSM will only have something negative to say about this, as usual.

I don't get it.

They were being told tunnels were being dug by detainees, they were finding tons of dirt in the toilets, they were finding 'small' tunnels here and there, and noticed more 'strange' people lurking around the base.

IF they knew all that, why didn't they just spy on the detainees at night or whatever to see what was up?

But no... a 'rountine' inspection (they didn't send people out to look for them) they accidnetally found the tunnels.

I don't get it.

FoxNews just featured this story on Brit Humes show. Amazing, I'm glad they discovered the plans and tunnels.

I saw the same video.....Those tunnels took some time to build. I wonder how long they were digging them?
